HSLDA has been working to get HR1815
section 522 legislation enacted for the past 7 years. This was
the language used for the pilot program used for homeschoolers and this
is most likely the definition that the Secretary of Defense will use to
define homeschoolers nationwide. Here is the definition of
homeschooling according to page 83 of the Navy Recruiting Manual:

====================================
g. Home School Diploma. Conference Report (Section 571) of the FY
99 National Defense Authorization Act established a five-year pilot
program to permit home school diploma recipients TIER 1 high school
diploma graduate status. A home school is a 12-year curriculum based,
instruction oriented academic experience, in the home, involving
regular parental or guardian instruction and education. Attendance
should be for at least an average of 4.5 hours daily and at least 170
days per academic/grade year. For applicable state laws governing
home school see http://www.hslda.org/central/states/xx/laws.html. The
xx is the state abbreviation.
